Water seems to have gotten into the column from a leak.

Where would I get steering column bearings to buy for my GQ? There is a creaking sound coming from the column when turning, especially on dry surfaces. I suspect the bearings in the column need...

Where on the steering wheel would I apply the grease/WD40?

Hi guys.

I'm getting a creaking sound when I'm turning my steering wheel. It's coming from inside the cabin so I know it's not the box or the outside steering components. I have a leak coming from...

Nice build. Watching this post. Here in Jamaica, we have Patrols, but they're not that common here. We have a Nissan dealer here who we can get some parts through. Sometimes we have to do special...

A friend of mine has done it here on a couple Patrols. I'm not sure of the details of his builds though. From what he's told me, the power doesn't seem to be linear, but it seems satisfactory enough....

The locking mechanism on the body is adjustable. Adjusted mine over the weekend. A lot of times the hinges wear and the door starts to drop. Eventually you may have to repair the hinges, but in the...

Nope, no immboliser/alarm fitted.

Thanks Mudnut. I think I'll start with the battery terminall. Seems exttremely dirty and probably needs new wires. From there, I'll check the fuses etc.

Hi fellas. I have been having an intermittent problem from last week, where, for a couple seconds, the electrical systems shut down and the come on back again. When it starts, the engine will shut...

Thanks guys. He is not the most competent electrician, to be honest. Kinda suspect something is loose too as it doesn't pulsate at idle all the time. Just after a drive on corrugations. When I turn...

Hi guys.
Having a problem with my charging system. Couple weeks ago, on my way to town, my battery light stayed on all the way. I went straight to the electrician, who ended up servicing the...

Hi guys. I have a friend who recently had an OME lift kit installed on his GQ. He found out afterwards that the rear coils were installed wrong way up. He checked mine and said he thought they also...

Thanks Mudrunner.

After driving the vehicle today, I realized that the vibrations were mostly felt at high revs. They seemed to have been getting worse. anyway, checked underneath this evening. Found that the bolts...

I feel the vibration in the body of the car mostly at lower revs when accelerating. On the highway I am also feeling it in 4th.

I havenpt jacked it up yet. I did check the shaft for play by the u joints. How do I check it for weights? If any are missing, how do I get them on a rebalance the shaft?

Thanks threedogs, but no loose wheels seen.

Hi guys. I'm getting a slight vibration from the Patrol when accelerating, mostly at lower revs. I suspect it's the u-joints, but weirdly enough I feel it in the gas pedal. Going to check the joints...

[QUOTE=bigguwesty;694401]It's pretty easy to remove play in the steering box.
But first check the rubber joint is in good condition.
It's located about 200mm from the steering box and sometimes has...

So I should aim at something near that then. Mine has been at 35mm for a long time though.

Freeplay with the engine off, although it doesn't really change with it on. I should measure it with it on. I am going to try and adjust it then.

Hi fellows. The steering wheel of my gq has 1.5 inches of free play. The maximum in the manual is close to that. Its also similar in the GU. What would be considered average for a Patrol? I am...

Hi guys. I currently don't have any front fender liners. The interior of the cabin is open to the ingress of dirt and water. If I am driving through water high enough to reach the doors, would the...

Thanks. i agree with that. i called them back and they confirmed it was the drag link Ordered one today.
